STOCKTON-

A 13-year-old driver and his 15-year old friend were killed in a crash after leading officers on a high-speed chase through Stockton, according to CHP.

Friends and family of the driver and passenger saw a different side of the teens. The 13-year-old has been identified by family as Luigi Longoria. His mother, Maria Lopez, says she will remember her son for his sense of humor.

The passenger’s first name is Martel, but FOX40 is unsure about the spelling of his last name. Friends say they did not know him to be someone who got in trouble.

A memorial was set up at the corner of Benjamin Holt Drive and Pacific Avenue, where the car crashed Saturday morning.

CHP says the car the two were riding in was reported stolen, but officers are not saying if the teens were involved in the theft.
